"If you want more of it, I'll need some kind of Radioactive substance, Tritium is preferable, I'll need Sterilizing equipment, Vats, Heat Controllers, some type of safe fungus, and a method of growing said fungus." -- Mar charges into the Barracks, Scrambling for materials, He Creates Lensite Blocks, Small Rounded ones with hollow insides, he scatters them near the Drawbridge and Entrance, The Radiation must be contained. He also uses a long Stone Rod with a flat Plane to Scoop out and Spread Black Ash on the Drawbridge and Door, Caking it in antimagic ash, Finally, he scatters voidstone pebbles coated in glass around, if anything tries to enter, the magic should be sucked towards them, causing the glass to glow with light.

"Well uh, if we had the equipment, we could cultivate it, Research and Data shows that they can be induced to replicate using beta waves, so par that with standard cloning and nutrient vats, I imagine we could." "What are you using that thing for? The Metroid's Membrane is, like the rest of it, a biological marvel. Complete resistance to common energy weapons, near perfect energy transfer and distribution, and it's only true weakness being cold, I would have to know exactly what you are planning on using it for." The researcher says. It seems he has ditched his Federation Armor in place of a much more comfortable jumpsuit, The armor sits in one of the glass cases of the Barracks, with his name labled on it. Reese Archer, his name seems to be. Ironic.

Laver Attacks Samantha, Healing her for 1d6+16 Health! -- Dackly Whips Out Her Crackpot Shouting "Hey guys, any of the Dragon Tooth Skeletons you get into this pot will be slaughtered without fail!" The metal card folds out into a crackpot that easily dwarfs Dackly in height and width, plopping down as a metaphorical Basketball hoop of gargantuan proportions to shovel skeletons into. Gozer uses Royal Guard Giving Dackly +7 RES! -- Lexiel Summons two BBQ Soaked Goblins, and orders them to attack Archer Group C!

He arrives in time to hear the explanation.

The pair would be dumped out in a waiting room where An elderly looking sciency type is discussing something with Meta Knight. This must be the professor. They would be followed by the other three. "Ahaha! Those must be some of them now! Welcome to my laboratory Gentlemen and Ladies, The others will be along shortly!" Meta knight turns to face the pair. "According to the Professor, A massive surge of some kind of energy was detected in the same time frame I discovered you all in." "When certain others I have called make there way here, The professor believes he has a device able to exploit this surge of energy to get several answers about the Shadowbugs, and about your arrival." -- "Well, if you don't got no business left, we should get over to the old fart's place, they're waiting on us by now, probably." Wario Responds. there are several more practical shops, selling accessories, weapons, gear, and some sort of stickers.

Ringing the doorbell, those in front of it would suddenly see the door fling open, and the Vacuum Hose attached begin sucking wildly! Those unable to grab something quick are surely going to be sucked inside the building! -- In the very Same Store, Keith finds a mask that he can hide his helmet in perfectly, A rather stylish one, in fact. -- Cobalt, Elicia and Cim interact. Cobalt eats another lightpost, the taste, he has to admit, is growing on him. (7, 14) "Oh god, another one, Who has Red's Number?" A passersby comments, noticing the Aron literally eating their light posts. It seems they are familiar with the idea. Someone pulls out a cellphone.

Laver Equips Successor's Accord, and Lowers Tension, Making his Autoattacks Heal instead of harm! -- Dackly uses Libra on Dragon Tooth Beast x 10 A! "Hey guys! I've seen these jokers before! Those are Dragon Tooth Warriors, but shaped like an Inhuman Beast! They go down like a sack of drunk bricks with only 30 Health a Pop, but their Bite is no joke!" Gozer uses Deleterious Bomb, Charging up his explosives! "Dackly, I have never been drunk. I cannot become drunk." "Not you, Moron! The Dragon Tooth Beasts!" -- Dackly and Gozer Join the Fight! Laver Joins the Fight!

"People die if I don't." Laver says. "They might not realize it, but they do."

"Nah, I pop like a soap bubble and come back an hour later covered in bruises if I live. I have to dive right in and fight the most twisted things in your heart with my own sword for this." Laver crosses his arms.

"My name is Laver, and I am the Heart Doctor. I use my Heartstrung Sword to fight Knots, Emotional Entities that are created from Intense Strained and Tangled emotions. You yourself are infested with them." "I have the power to see Hearts and their heartstrings, cables that are made of the emotional connections people make, and can interact with and manipulate them." Laver explains.

Laver enters with style, grace, and a funny face.

Laver most definitely follows, going to the Throne Hall as well.

"Take me to the patient, I can't in good conscience let one stand, considering I am still in perfect health." Laver says with confidence.

"We ourselves will have Mercy on them. Orcish Mercy." Knowing Orcish Culture from Mar's talks about it, it would be easy to piece that Orcish Mercy involves a LOT of things being broken. A fitting name for the weapon.

"Yeah, It's over there." Wario points to the giant neon billboard denoting E-Gadd's Lab. Clothes seem to be free in this place, thankfully. Probably something to do with the whole fighting culture thing going on. -- E-Gadd's lab appears to look the part, the entire building being styled to look like a giant Vacuum Cleaner, with the nozzle being the doorway. -- (11, 9) Cobalt eats unaccosted, It's dry, but filling metal.

"Yeah, Orange isn't the new black, no matter what they tell you." "Come along tour group." Wario Jokes, walking off to a store with a giant sign denoting it as a clothing store. It seems to have a number of very strange outfits, one of the most mundane looking ones being a 3 piece suit, but with a lot of chains, zipper pockets, and two belts. Meanwhile, Cobalt wanders off, (14, 19) The closest thing to metal would be the light poles, it seems, the metal making them up seems to be clean and strong. "Huh? Yeah, E-Gadd's pretty dang smart, he can probably knock that out easy." Wario responds in Meta Knight's place, as the masked warrior is already long gone.

"Bah, That hack wouldn't know a Jump if it landed on him!" The Biker-like fatman says after hearing that. Meanwhile, the Masked figure listens to the conversations. "The shadowbugs are primordial essence given form. I am not sure it is safe to toy with them. But perhaps something can be done with them, if we could simply get control of that capsule." "What I do not understand is how that capsule is even producing them. When Tabuu attacked This World, he had to use Mr. Game and Watch to create his army." "I don't know what the capsule's purpose is. But it managed to fill my entire ship with shadowbugs while I was flying it, before turning into various monsters and forcing an emergency landing. It is a threat." "I am taking you all to the Colosseum Town. A village created around the Colosseum where we commonly do battle. We have always called the world you are in "This World". I know no othr name for it." As he finishes, the Skiff comes to a halt in front of a mildly bustling village of sorts. "Do what you must, then Meet me at Professor E-Gadd's. I have to gather the rest of our fighters. Wario, could you make sure they don't get into trouble?" He addresses the man, who is startled out of picking his nose, quickly changing the action to a salute. "Sure, Meta Knight. Alright chumps, off the Smash Skiff!" He leaps off the vehicle, causing it to groan in protest and lean forwards more than is safe, before returning to normal.

"Weapons like these cannot be made without being used." "It is a responsibility. Not a privilege." "If not you, then who?"

She would find them in the form of a Gorgon and an Earth Elemental, both of which seem to have erected something approaching a laboratory in the engineering bay, off in a nice corner where the explosions won't hurt anything. A small bookshelf with a note tacked onto it saying "PLEASE READ THE BOOKS, THEY SAY HOW THE SHIT WORKS, MAGIC NOT MANDATORY" marks the entrance into the rough circle of strange altars, bubbling pots, Runic circles, and even stranger things. In the middle of which, Dackly and Gozer are fiddling with some sort of metal card.

Meanwhile, after answering that yes, it would be a good idea for some rudimentary tutoring, Mar leaves to do some work in the smithy.

And then... Chaos. Lightning Blasts from the open doors of the smithy, The angelic Choruses sing and scream in equal measure, Reality itself is bent and folded into a tool of war, and the blood of the multiverse is drained for fuel. The final result is something frightening. It looks like a lance, but it is too large to be called that, Too deadly. This is a tool that can only be called a "Weapon". No simple description could even begin to describe it, but this humble author will try. 6 Prongs of a planet killing monster lie bound in Magic Steel and Flaming Ruby, ash sealed within the ruby coating causing the blazing plasma to spin in a drill like fashion, while the prongs themselves levitate, spinning in the opposite direction, silent, but horrifically loud, the drill is accentuated with a central cone of pure blackness, surrounding the weapon as a whole, and in the center of the drill, a spire of pure white drills forward and out of it's front, spinning in a direction that man has yet to name, a direction that is neither clockwise nor counterclockwise. The handle is quite simply, an engine block, a massive chunk of gyrating and pulsating machinery that screams in rage, hungry for the blood of it's master's enemies, and for the blood of it's master, arcane devices within blast pure magic into each of the 6 prongs of the drill, and fire a blast of the same energy up and through the middle of the weapon. Even if the prongs themselves were weightless, the handle alone weighs more than a car, the compressed and concentrated energy nearly bending space with it's sheer energy and force. It could be called a lance, if one were to blind themselves to it's destructive, primal, irresistible power. The weapon's handle sits in a tight steel clamp. As the damaging portion of the weapon cannot be allowed to touch anything but an enemy.

"I can do that." Mar says simply, pulling a block of steel stock off the pile and the lightning Prongs. "You help too." Mar gets right into it.

"Definitely, the one we fought in Lexiel's Heart punched her across several city blocks." Laver nods to himself.

"I can bring people with me to help with the operation, so long as I have an Accord with them. It depends how powerful the Knot is. Without my help, it takes nothing short of a miracle to cure a knot by yourself. The most likely results of a knot are always the same." "Either the knot eats its way back to the persons heart, and they become consumed with the corrupt emotion that they feel, and become the very Knot that was plaguing them." "Or they cut ties." Laver leaves the last line hanging implicitely

"I can do that." Mar says. "How dangerous do you want it to be?"
